Hello friends! With all the heat LA has been getting, we welcomed the cooler weather with open arms and embraced it and everything that comes with it. We are so excited to start posting some really cozy recipes. We are going to start out with this Pumpkin Cornbread recipe, and it goes great with all the chowders and chilis you can imagine! Stay cozy!

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place three 5 inch cast iron skillets or one 8 inch cast iron skillet (nonstick is fine too) into the oven.
2. Place first 6 ingredients into a small mixing bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In another bowl whisk together eggs, 1/4 cup butter, buttermilk, and honey
5. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir until well mixed. Fold in pumpkin mixture.
6. Pour remaining butter into heated skillets and carefully swirl to cover all sides.
7. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes (for the small skillets) or 50 to 55 minutes (for the large skillet) or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
8. Remove from oven and drizzle with a small amount of honey. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve.

Are you sure you didn’t mean 1 cup of buttermilk vs. the 2 cups stated? 2 cups seems like a lot of liquid for the amount of dry ingredients. I made the recipe following the instructions exactly, but as I was adding the milk, it looked very soupy! I should’ve followed my gut and only added the one cup. The taste was great, just way too wet.

How have I never had pumpkin cornbread before? Oh my goodness, I need to make this immediately. Thank you for showing yet another delicious way for pumpkin to overtake everything, just the way fall should be:)

It might just be me, but I don’t think the recipe has been corrected yet to reflect the 1 cup of buttermilk instead of the 2 cups listed. I’m trying this delicious-looking recipe tonight to go with my chili! Perfect!

Just a heads up. I noticed the ingredients mention 1 cup sugar but the directions don’t mention when/where to add it. I accidentally left it out because I didn’t see it in there. It was still yummy but would have been better with the sugar :)
